We wanted to say a big THANK YOU to CF Industries for the more than $33,000 contribution they made to VOASCLA last week to provide books for children in Ascension Parish through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library! The donation was made possible thanks to the company's annual golf tournament, which was postponed due to storms a couple of weeks ago. That tournament has been rescheduled for Friday, June 14th at Pelican Point. We hope it's a huge success!
